Defcon 15 - Basic Physical Security

Hilarious and no-holds-barred seminar on firearms and self-defense. 49 minutes long. I'm not sure their advice is all good, but excellent panel discussion and Q&A.

Best part: Ex-cop describes how he introduced his wife to shooting. She was very recoil-sensitive so he started her out with a .22 revolver. Then one night while he was on duty a guy broke into their house, and the husband was the responding officer. He says that he found her in the bedroom, "clutching my Dirty Harry 44-magnum." Later he asked her about her sensitivity to recoil, and she replied, "Fuck him! I was gonna blow his fucking head off!"

"If you've got to resist, your chances of being hurt are less the more lethal your weapon. If that were my wife, would I want her to have a .38 Special in her hand? Yeah." - Dr. Arthur Kellermann, Health Magazine (March/April 1994) p 61
